With
ever-increasing pressures and challenges on utilities from heightened customer
expectations, changing regulations, technology advances, and a changing
workforce, those who lead and manage public power utilities must be equipped
with the knowledge and skills to create an effective and sustainable
organization with engaged, skilled and committed employees. The Public Power
Manager Certificate Program is designed for a new generation of leaders as well
as existing supervisors and managers. It will help these leaders provide
organizational direction as they navigate a changing and complex industry
environment.

To
earn a Public Power Manager certificate, participants must complete the three
required courses, then within a year of completing the program curriculum,
complete a post-course project that applies principles from the six key
leadership dimensions learned in class. Participants may choose to complete one
of three project types.

This
program is designed for mid-level public power managers and supervisors
interested in improving their management, communications, leadership knowledge
and skills. New senior managers, and those with experience, who wish to refresh
or enhance their knowledge and skills by participating in a highly interactive
program that has been developed specifically for public power, will also
benefit from this program.
